After an amazing party/show anniversary on Saturday (and some serious editing on Sunday), Big Words Radio Episode 39 is now online. Here’s your synopsis:

Synopsis:

Tom looks back on a wildly successful first year for The Big Words I Know By Heart Radio Hour by throwing a party. Former co-hosts reflect on their experience on the show, SoCo Mike commits a serious faux pax by using a vintage Robin The Boy Wonder glass for his cocktail, and special musical guest The Pheonix Resistance rock it out with an original composition (‘Neverending Grace’).

And the first batch of Slapstick & Superego came and went in rapid succession. I’ve got another payload of first editions in transit as we speak and should have them in by Wednesday, so if you want one, speak now or forever hold your peace, because they’re going fast! Early first impressions on the book have been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the general public thinks once they get their hands on the book late this summer.

As far as the yet-to-be-published episodes, I spent last week working on April Foolfest 2. For a two and a half hour spoken word/music concert, there’s a lot of editing to be done. Much like the new book, I’d rather take the time to get it right the first time than release an unfinished product, so keep your eyes peeled on the web site and hopefully I’ll be done with it some time this week.

And Night Life magazine hits the stands this week with ‘Docker Bums’, an essay about the increasing laziness of our modern world. With limited access to my backlog, I’ve had to resort to some reprints until the computer crisis passes…

And that’s all the news that’s fit to print this Monday. Thanks to everybody who made the party such a huge hit, thanks to everyone who helped/participated on the radio show in the last year, and thanks to the new owners of Slapstick & Superego! I’ll have your Quixote Wednesday Update for you in two more days…
